Sometimes someone comes to power in some random country, and everyone wonders what will he or she do. This happened in the Ukraine two years, and the answer was a disappointing, not much. Now there is a new leader in Bolivia, Evo Morales, that everyone is wondering about. There were some good articles about him in a recent Economist, unfortunately, none of them are available on the website.
Anyway, his history and campaigning method (he was and supports coca farmers) put him in the same category of Anti-American Leftist as Chavez and Castro. However, he is showing himself to be a more agreeable person than either, with few of the autocratic tendencies, but only time will tell.
Most of Bolivia's trade (legal and illegal) is with Europe, so it's unlikely he will bother with the same Anti-American rhetoric as Bolivia has little to do with the US in the first place.
